Looking for (doubles) match strategy

Can anyone recommend a good book or instruction resource for match strategy?  Specifically I'm looking for doubles tips right now, but singles as well.  Earlier tonight, I feel like my partner and I lost because we didn't adjust to the opponents' adjustments they made during the match.  I feel like we were mentally outplayed towards the end and I really hate losing a close match (plus I made some dumb choices). 

Are there any good books that have helped your game off-the-shelf?  I realize that playing lots of tennis in different situations with different players may be the best teacher.  But I think I could benefit from some doubles recipes if you will.

Thanks in advance :)

Angie

Hi Angie, what level doubles are you playing? Strategies differ between beginners, intermediates and advanced players, but basic doubles strategies are always followed.

A great Tennis book I used years ago and can be found on Amazon.com

Stairsteps to Successful Tennis (SST) written by my college coach, Ben Varn; and Hank Jungle.

I taught under SST program for 2 summers.  One of the best tennis books out there; enjoy.

I just published the book "Developing High Performance Tennis Players"  it presents a view of the game from the perspective of a high performance coach.  In it you will find the "Laws of the Battle" - the tactical principles of tennis - singles and doubles.

Fantastic!  Thanks for sharing your book here.  It would be great to do hear your feedback on some of the questions that players have here.
